When was the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 release date? Was there a deeper meaning behind the secret Klombo snow mounds and Klombo sand mounds? And perhaps the most important question on fans’ minds: did No Build mode become a permanent game mode after Chapter 3 Season 2?

Of course, all became clear with the release of the season, and we were right on most of our speculation. Here’s everything we knew before Chapter 3 Season 3 was released in Fortnite, and some things we didn’t.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 start time speculation

The Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 release date was June 5, 2022 Epic Games confirmed the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 release date at the start of the previous season.

There was also a period of downtime following the Collision event at the end of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 which preceded Season 3’s release.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 leaks

Epic Games keeps a tight ship when it comes to leaks, so there wasn’t a lot for us to dissect. However, one distressing leak that lined up with the teaser quests throughout the previous season was that the adorable Fortnite Klombos would be killable. According to Fortnite leaker Hypex, these gentle giants “drop a special version of meat and 15 different types of loot including ammo, mats, consumables, [and] maybe weapons”.

As for any Fortnite skins, Fortnite leaker Shiina tweeted that Indiana Jones and Darth Vader would be coming to the game – and Darth Vader appeared in the Chapter 2 end event, further backing this theory. At the same time, Epic Games’ chief creative officer Donald Mustard teased what appears to be pixelated C3PO and Chewbacca graffiti, and his banner showed part of a Lego AT-AT. Shiina also tweeted the covers for a Fortnite collaboration with Marvel comics.

That’s everything that we knew about Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 before its release. While we’re on a different season now, you might want to check out all of the new Fortnite weapons to make sure you’re not missing the best one for your ideal loadout.
